She was particularly partial to strawberries. She would stomp over to the strawberry patch and would carefully pick up a berry and ensure it was ripe on all sides before she picked it. If unripe she would leave it, unmarked for another day. Which, given their talons is impressive.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-37053561315654607722012-06-28T19:09:43.499+10:002012-06-28T19:09:43.499+10:00Windsmoke: Thank you.
